Last Monday, a German bank found its valuables suddenly missing — and along with it, found an elaborate, complex tunnel.

A branch of the Berliner Volksbank in the German capital discovered a 150-ft. tunnel from a nearby parking garage that had been constructed all the way to underneath the bank’s vault. Thieves had used the tunnel in a successful heist sometime early Monday. The theft was reported later that morning when a security guard noticed smoke coming from the deposit room.

The tunnel was constructed very professionally. It was stabilized with beams and supports. Obviously, the suspects spent months digging to build this roughly 45-meter long tunnel from the parking garage to the bank.

The culprits had blasted through a concrete wall in the parking garage and continued to dig through sand and dirt for months. The construction of the actual tunnel suggests that the robbers themselves, or their accomplices, had specialized skill sets.

Digging for months and blasting through concrete and having to remove many, many tons of dirt and bringing in beams...for months...and no one noticed this unusual activity? Oh, and please post the picture, maybe we know him.

Sounds remarkably like the Los Angeles heist of the (I believe?) First Interstate bank near Beverly Hills (Wilshire Blvd, maybe). They dug a tunnel from one of the LA River aquaducts till they were underneath the vault. Then used ATV's to transport the loot out.
